Following the European Union's insistence, YouTube has also decided to show videos in Standard Definition (SD) quality instead of High Definition (HD) and FullHD, following the path of Netflix, currently taking the decision only for Europe. Also, on this decision of YouTube, a company spokesperson told TechCrunch that even though users have decided to show videos in SD, they will get good quality. Due to Coronavirus, half the world is imprisoned in homes. Millions of people are working from home.

Those who are home are spending their time watching online videos and playing games. Along with this, the European Union recently asked platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video Streaming to stop showing videos in high definition (HD) quality or else there could be an internet outage problem as users grow. European Commissioner Thierry Bretton has tweeted that all UK companies should be streaming video in standard definition (SD) quality for a few days.

Along with this, Thierry made this tweet based on a conversation with CEO Reed Hastings for Netflix. Along with this he used #SwitchtoStandard and said that when HD is not necessary it should be turned off. After this conversation, Netflix has turned off HD video. At present, there is no statement of Amazon Prime Video yet.
